Fair Weather Friend

by dsmeadows , Nov 28 '01
Pros: Large inventory, competitive prices
Cons: poor customer service, extremely slow in problem solving
After recommendations from several friends, I ordered a guitar and amp on August 17, 2001 from Musician's Friend for a son's birthday present. Communication regarding order status was nonexistant. After several inquiries, I received the order on...

Musician's arch nemisis

by sokhos , Aug 26 '02
This company may have the best deals on equipment online, however it all ammounts to a bunch of false advertising and empty promises. I ordered a warwick streamer standard bass from them for a too good to be true price. It was listed as in stock on...

To be avoided if you expect to get a real product on time

by apdia41 , Mar 16 '06
I had a very bad experience with this company - I ordered a guitar online for 2 day delivery, needing it as a gift for a week hence. It was listed at the time of order on their web site as 'in stock'. They took my credit card details, confirmed it by ...

Musicians Friend

by mshuey , Dec 08 '01
Pros: Prices on most items are very competitive.
Cons: 3 day shipping took 5 days.
My experience with Musicians Friend was essentially a positive one except that the shipping took longer than advertised. Some of this is probably due to the time of year as December is a very busy month for UPS.

The web site is well designed...

non-accountability for shipping problems, poor customer service

by renee28 , May 06 '05
I ordered a drum Monday morning at 7 am and it was scheduled to arrive by Friday. I made plans to participate in a drumming group based on the date the tracking system said the drum would arrive. All week I thought: My drum will be here Friday! Then ...

by drumguy , May 18 '03
I have ordered 5 times in three months from MS. They lost my last order in the mail, charged my credit card and told me that company policy does not allow them to do any follow up or re-ship my goods for 30 days. They are completely inflexible and didn't...

Serious Buyers Look Elsewhere

by samson745 , Dec 04 '01
Pros: Large Selection, competitive prices (if you don't pay tax)
Cons: Terrible customer service practices, horrendous delivery dependability, non-disclosure of pretty important details
I got the wrong tracking numbers 5 times (for the same order). I was told it would be shipped the same day I ordered and it did not ship until 5 days later.. meaning it arrived over a week too late. When it arrived, the shipping was incomplete,...

Musicians Friend is a Little Slow

by edzview , Feb 14 '02
Ordered a Squier mini for my son from Musicians Friend (on 2/1/02) – the guitar was backordered when I placed the order (I was told that), but that it would be in stock on 2//8/02. The guitar was to be given at his b-day party 2/16/02. Plenty of time...

A Bullet! Does anyone have a bullet???

Best Online Music Store

by benharr , Jun 05 '03
I have been ordering from Musician's friend magazine and online store for about 4 or 5 years, I can't quite remember, but it was back in the day when their stock basically consisted of about 4 guitars, a bass, and some picks. I really don't know what...

by rnb75 , Sep 22 '07
I've purchased two products at MF, a drum pedal, and some drumsticks. The rep told me that they'll both take about 5-7 business days. 8 days later, the products haven't been delivered. The next day, I've received an email that a drum pedal has been ...

The worst on-line merchant I've dealt with!

by badleroybrown , Jul 30 '07
What a pain in the a@#!!! These guys make this claim that most items ship the same day and that most items are delivered in 2-5 days which is a load of bunk. I ordered about $1,000 worth of equipment including drums and cymbals. After about 4 days, I ...

Iput my order in on a Sat & had it shipped standard, expecting delivery by Fri or Sat( according to the quoted 2-5 day delivery) Then i was informed I wouldn't be receiving it until Wed. If I had known their 2-5 days was actually 10-12 days I would have paid the extra shipping & had it in 2 days (which more than likely would have turned into 5-7) I'm not happy.

I have ordered from muscians friend twice recently spending a total of about $600. Both times either stuff was missing or the item didnt work. I will not order from them again. On the item where stuff was missing it took them well over a month to respond to my complaint and even then did not send all the pieces. I got fed up and just went and bought the drum head they kept not sending me. they used to be great but have really slipped in my opinion.they lost a customer.

Ordered a Gibson Hound Dog round neck Dobro on Monday. Website tracking page showed it as "being packed" on Tuesday morning and "shipped" Tuesday evening. This was a ground delivery to Canada, so I expected to wait a couple of weeks. On Thursday I sent an email because no tracking number had been posted yet. On Friday afternoon the guitar and accessories arrived, in good condition. Overall I am very pleased with the item and the service I got from Musician's Friend.
